It was pretty horrible." - yet it was sold for over $300 the other day ...

Yeah, collector's value and music quality apparently are two very different things, obviously

by the way, do you maybe have more informations about Ultimatum - till the End CD, which was released in 2006 - 300 numbered copies? I haven't heard about 700 other copies floating around ...

My guess would be they pressed the possible minimum (maybe 500) and limited it further down to 300. The same way Barbarian Wrath is limiting his releases to 666, but in fact he is ordering 1000 at the pressing plant.

All in all LIMITED should be hand-numbered. Otherwise he-said-she-said is just a rumor at best and should be taken accordingly.

Any Metal CD - good or bad – once its sale value has gone past the $100 mark on eBay, people will respect it. If it’s gone past $300 mark, people will deify it! In the present internet age, owning some high-value eBay CDs in your collection can earn you prestigious status instantly. How much do people really appreciate the music on the disc is another question.

I'm with you, amigo. Same thing happened with vinyls, only a few years earlier.

It's kinda of sad nowadays when this happens, one can be totally retarded and totally tasteless about music, but once a $1k worth of a CD is showed, people start to treat him differently.
